Kamigyo attractions are diverse presenting ancient shrines and temples with the Kyoto Imperial Palace highest on the list. Being a centre of the tea ceremony, this is a good place to learn how to appreciate this fine art. Places like WAK Japan offer visitors the opportunity to learn a number of traditional Japanese arts. The Kamigyo Ward Prefectural Office itself is an attraction with beautifully maintained architecture and a scenic location.
Kyoto Imperial Palace
The beautiful and spectacular Kyoto Imperial Palace lies in a huge park north of downtown Kyoto. It was the residence of the Imperial Family before the capital was relocated to Tokyo in 1868. The palace itself is closed to the public but the park is open all year round and is a very famous and popular spot for family picnics, especially at weekends.
The park features many historical sites including ancient temples and visitors can join an English-language tour to the Imperial Palace which can only be viewed from the outside. The tour operates several times per day with advance booking only.
The entire palace complex is encircled by an earthen wall and covers 27 acres. It has five gates with the southern gate as the main entrance to the grounds. The palace itself was destroyed by fire a few times and the current palace was rebuilt in 1855 using timber and cypress-bark roofing as main materials in keeping with traditional methods. The most important building of the palace is the Shishinden Imperial state chamber which was used for important ceremonies including enthronement ceremonies. The stunning gardens still follow the original design.
The English tour runs during the week only at 10:00 and 14:00 and does not operate on national holidays. To book the tour, contact the Imperial Household Agency at the Kyoto Office. For busy times of year like spring and autumn, you might need to book the tour a couple months in advance while at other times you might just be able to book it on the morning of the visiting day.

We'll take whatever glance we can get of the Woolworth Building's new Tower Residences, which have been under construction since 2012, and basically kept hidden the entire time (the developers gave a construction site tour back in July 2015, and then released a few renderings later that year).
A new, animated video of the one of the units, which the sales team released today, is certainly a brief look, but we're grateful for the peek nonetheless.
Commissioned by retail magnate F. W. Woolworth, and designed by Cass Gilbert, the Woolworth building was officially inaugurated on April 24, 1913, when President Woodrow Wilson flipped a switch in the White House to illuminate what was then the world's tallest building. Almost a century later, Alchemy Properties bought the top 30 floors of the tower and started converting them into 33 loft-like homes, which are designed by Thierry W. Despont
According to The Real Deal, several units in the building recently got updated floor plans in an effort to appeal to a greater range of buyers.
Stan Ponte, a broker with Sotheby's International Realty and the co-director of sales for the project, wouldn't dish on sales or contracts — units are currently being marketed to select buyers — but "for a quiet marketing phase [interest] has not been quiet," he said.
Likewise, pricing for the apartments is still under wraps, but Ponte did tell LLNYC that the building's three-bedroom units will start at just a touch under $9.6 million, with sizes starting at 3,272 square feet. Two-bedroom units, meanwhile, will start at $7.25 million, and will be 2,544 square feet.
The project is estimated to be completed towards the end of 2017, but they are "very close to having people be able to walk through," said Ponte.
The building is also reportedly set to hold a nine-floor "Pinnacle" penthouse unit, rumored to be priced at $110 million.

(01/17/18) Recent unusually cold weather across Louisiana is likely to result in higher utility bills.
(Video 01/24/18) This winter has brought record cold temperatures, and it is still not over.
Rising energy prices, floods and hurricanes happen, but they don't have to bust your budget.
Are you thinking about adding a solar energy system to your home to generate electricity? If so, this consumer guide will help you explore various options, ask important questions and make a well-informed decision. (PDF Format Only)
When home heating costs get uncomfortable, there is a lot you can do to control how much energy you need to use to stay warm.

2.5 months and 4 posts later, we have finally reached here.
What a journey it's been.
Ever had the feeling of having yourself officially detached from something you were stuck to? Then watching it continue, like it always did and always will, yet with newer passengers.
Suddenly you're not present in its present.
That's how I feel post-results. I thought I had officially walked off board during the time the exams had ended but I think it wasn't entirely that; it was more of just getting off my seat and beginning the walk towards the exit. So back then, it might have felt like the perfect embodiment of the previously-mentioned feeling but it lacked completion.
Today on August 13, 2014, I feel it done and finished.
I embarked then conquered.
I know I've walked off and this time for sure.
"I heard the exit doors shut behind me."
The summit has been reached.
And trust me when I say:
"The view was worth every bit of the struggle."
– Toto
P.S. And that's "The End" for this series. I hope you enjoyed it because I feel hugely proud of being fortunate enough to have start and successfully finish such a thing.
Thank you for your valuable time spent on my feeble, little blog. It means A LOT.
oh and yes, my inner Gollum did find Precioussss, thankfully. 🙂

Describes the human Mars colony as well as the various indigenous humanoids and animals that populate the red planet. Subsequent to his involvement in Project Pegasus (1969-72), Basiago claims that from 1980 to 1984, he was recruited into a second CIA-led project that involved the use of teleportation technology for travel to Mars. These "Jump Rooms" led to him and others traveling to the Red Planet on multiple occasions witnessing indigenous life on Mars, as well as secret bases there.
In 1980, at the start of the CIA Mars Jump Room project, Basiago claims that he learned that Barack Obama had also been pre-identified as a future President and even Basiago himself was destined to become a U.S. President

Geometricas hotsprings are a great place for a day out from Pucón. It is a 80 kilometers drive from Pucón to there. From Pucòn, first drive to Villarrica, from there to Coñaripe. In the centre of Coñaripe is a sign (on the lefthandside on the town's mainstreet) that indicates you the last 17 kilometers of grvaelroad towards the hotsprings. The entrance fee varies between $ 15.000 pesos and $ 19.000 pesos for an adult and between $ 7.000 and $ 9.000 peso for a child. The price depends on the time of the day.
There are three main routes towards Pucón
The first two roads are entirely paved and in good condition, the Panamerican has highway standard. Total distance Santiago – Pucón is 789 kilometres, it is about a nine-hours-driv
The international connection is a gravel road for about 100 kilometres. There is no problem in summer for any vehicle, but in winter you may need a 4WD.
Huerquehue national park, close to Pucón, consists of 125 square kilometres of mountains, lakes, and a valdivian rainforest. The highlight of the park are the lakes high in the mountains, surrounded by Araucaria trees (Monkey Puzzle Trees). From the Conaf office at the entrance of the park, you can make a trekking called "Los Lagos".
"Ruta manos conectados" is an iniative of 4 local artists from Pucón. They invite you to make a cultural tour through the area of Pucón and show you their workshops.

Sanctuario El Cañi is a beautiful 1,500 acre nature reserve located just outside of Pucón. While visiting there, you will have a spectacular view of the famous, and endangered tree species, the Araucaria.
The Sanctuary is a groundbreaking conservation project. In 1990, it became the first Chilean forest purchased for conservation by a group of outdoor enthusiast. They named it the Lahuén foundation, and hope to continue to research and defend the forest from logging while promoting ecotourism.
The Cañi feels almost magical as you are hiking through it. You are surrounded by beautiful flora and fauna while Chiles unique birds are echoing all around you. A certain history of the Mapuche tribe still lingers on the ground as well.
Many travelers want to continue to Argentina after visiting Pucón. Bus tickets for Argentina can be bought from a small shop on the corner of Uruguay and Palguin street.
Traveling from Pucón to San Martin de los Andes:
From monday to saturday you can take a bus of Igi-Llaima that leaves Pucón at 09:45 (via paso Mamuil Malal) and arrives in San Martin de los Andes at around 15:00 in the afternoon. On sunday the bus leaves from Pucón around 12:15 and arrives in San Martin de los Andes around 17:00.

I was put off by the article on the "new look" for the Southern California man. I find it amazing that the cosmetology industry is trying to hook men into performing the same absurd tortures upon themselves that they have coerced women into doing for so many years. Tweezing and waxing may no longer be considered sissy, but it is still silly. Why would anyone, intelligent or not, consent to having their back and chest hair ripped out with wax much less pay 40 bucks to have it done? Have we become so insecure that we have to go to these lengths to look like someone we're not?
Omar Albertto is quoted as saying, "Let's get away from the surfer look. . . . (The Southland man is) black, he's brown, he's very ethnic." Well, the Southland man is also Caucasian. The melting-pot concept has basis, but why should any of these Southland men need to mask their natural ethnicities? If you are a surfer, what's wrong with looking like a surfer?
I think articles about fashion this far in left field belong not in the magazine but in another publication, possibly between the stories about the two-headed space aliens and the latest Elvis sighting.

We're having a 4th of July BBQ this year and I wanted to come up with something different and fun to have for games outside. I saw a fun post on Facebook on how to make traditional inside games into yard games. Here's a link to the original post from our friends at "This Old House":
7 Giant Yard Games You Can DIY
I decided to go for what I thought would be the 2 easiest. My husband and I made yard sized Jenga and Yahtzee.
We also needed some score sheets for Yahtzee which I downloaded here.
The truth is I don't know if this is a real estate bubble or not and neither does anyone else! What I can tell you is what I tell all my clients. "If you're ready to buy then now is the right time". Of course, I also tell them to carefully consider the following information:
With all that being said… If you've been sitting on the fence, wondering if you want to buy or not, please reach out to me. I will help you logically evaluate your unique situation so you can make an informed decision about whether or not you're ready to buy.

No I am not really mental but today as I was browsing through some of my blogs between 2005-2006 I said to myself "man people must think I am mental". I have to admit some of what I was reading was pretty funny but other things were like dear God is this really me. Sadly it was. I was pretty sure I was kinda like that in my livejournal too. Ok in fact I know I was. It is one of those man I wish I could just punch that person in the face moments but that person is me so really I'd be wanting to punch myself in the face.
That period of time in my life I was all sorts of fucked up. Yes I did just use the F word. I try not to use it as much as I use to in my writings. Looking back at that period of time I had just went through a divorce and I ended up having to move back to Wisconsin from Florida. I was angry, confused, depressed, etc. I really didn't know what to do with myself. Let me just be honest and say that up until some point last year I didn't really know what I was going to do myself. Yes I am confident now when I say I have a much clearer picture then I did before. No I am not perfect. I make mistakes. I do questionable stuff but at least I can see some sort of goal. I didn't have that back in 05-06. Well longer then just that but I was more focused on that period of time. The big picture here is this I know I am not the only one who goes through bad stuff. It happens to everyone. We all have to learn how to deal with our own stuff in our own way. Some of us never do. Some of us like me took no responsibility in anything that was going on. Face the truth, it is easier to put all the blame on events and other things that people have done rather then to put any of the blame on yourself. That is exactly what I did. I've said harsh things about people who cared about me or who did a lot about me. Everything had to be about me, me, me. Feel sorry for me cause I hate my life and I am wanting someone to save me. Reality is no one can save you but yourself. If you wait around forever to be saved you are just wasting your time. You realize the harsh reality of things when you finally open your eyes and see things for what they really are. I am just thankful that I opened up my eyes.
Oh and I am not dwelling either. In fact I like reading those old writings of mine cause I can see first hand how much my attitude has changed about a number of things since then. Yeah I am still the same Nick that I was just in a different way. I feel like I should apologize for some of the crap some people had to deal with over a long period of time but it is what it is. You only can move forward from here on out.
I thought about something after a dream I had last night. The dream was about someone I use to talk to a lot deciding to just randomly send me a message. I said hi but then that is where the dream ends. Got me thinking would I reconnect with certain people who have left my life. You know I am not entirely against it however there are certain things I would not revisit. Anything that would stray me off the path that I am determined to be on I would have to say no to. Given the opportunity I would like to say I am sorry for being a douche bag to at least one or two people. It is funny that when you think the world is all out against you that you in turn end up turning on people who may actually need and depend on you for things. You get so blinded by all your bullshit and sometimes your own bullshit isn't even really that bad. It is fixable but you chose to ignore other things that people are going through that are not so easily fixable cause you are just too consumed by your shit. This is why I have failed as a friend over years. No I am not saying that I am a bad person cause I know I am not a bad person but there are just some things that I as a person and as a friend could of done so differently. Then again we aren't perfect. I just know in future situations I will probably handle things better then I have.
When I blog about something I don't dwell on my thoughts. I write them down and I move on from there. Whatever happens happens. I don't hold the fate of the universe in the palm of my hands. I can not control what happens the rest of today, tomorrow, or the next day. Sometimes I wish I could. If I would reconnect with certain people then great. If I don't then I move on. There is a reason why a person from your past should remain in your past but it depends on that person. We shall see what happens.
I like that I am blogging more. Especially this week. I mean what else am I going to do when it is cold and we keep getting snow dumped on us? Writing is possibly what I need out of life right now. Whether it be ramblings in my blog or things that just make absolutely no sense to anyone it doesn't matter. Writing is writing.

I met Erika last summer in Portland at the Rapha Gentle(women's) Race. Since I don't have cable, I had no idea who she was. Then, everywhere we went, people recognized her from the TV show "Parenthood". If you follow her on Twitter and pay attention to Velo, you might have caught onto this photo. If you don't, then you had to have seen it on Tracko. Either way, you're seeing it now, via JennLevo's Blog.
For more on Erika, head over to the post on the Embrocation blog where she was interviewed after the Rapha Gentle(women's) Race.

Domestic Violence Advocacy and Counseling
Each year thousands of women become victims of domestic violence. Approximately five million women are physically assaulted or raped each year, while domestic violence leads to other dangerous situations such as stalking.* In New Jersey, Camden County has the highest number of reported domestic violence offenses in the entire state.** The statistics are frightening. Violence against women spans all economic, racial, religious, and age divides.
Domestic violence victims often need services that go beyond counseling, treatment, and/or advocacy related to the trauma they've experienced. Survivors tend to need assistance with emergency housing, transportation, employment services, child care, health insurance, legal representation, immigration/citizenship services, home energy assistance, substance use disorder, and/or mental health treatment – to name a few examples – in order to stabilize their living situation and empower themselves towards self-sufficiency.
For years, the Hispanic Family Center has been providing bilingual, domestic violence advocacy and counseling services to victims of domestic violence through its Proyecto Apoyo (Project Support) program. Since its inception, Proyecto Apoyo has increased awareness of domestic violence, its prevalence, nature and impact; providing avenues for victims and their children to seek assistance, and provide "wrap-around" resources that promote dignity, empower, and encourage self-sufficiency.
Services are available Monday – Friday 9 a.m. – 1 p.m., or by appointment. For more information please contact (856) 964-4692.

Stolen Heavy Equipment Recovered 11-10-17
On November 10th, 2017, the DCSO took a report of a stolen 2017 Bobcat E35i Excavator. It belonged to Iowa Lakes Rural Water. The deputy was able to find where the excavator was located since GPS was installed on it. The GPS was showing that the excavator was located in the 1200 block of Highway 71, in a field on the east side of the highway. Upon further investigation, it was determined that a 2007 Caterpillar 236B Skid Loader, and a 2014 Aluma Tilt Trailer were located at the same property. The skid loader was reported stolen on October 25th, 2017 from Beck Excavating Inc.
A search warrant was issued for the property where the heavy equipment was located. The skid loader had been painted a different color to conceal its identity. The excavator, skid loader, and trailer were all seized from the property. As a result of the search warrant, arrest warrants were issued for Samuel Stoller (26) of Okoboji.
On November 13th, 2017, Stoller was placed under arrest for the outstanding warrants. Stoller's 2013 Dodge Ram 1500 was also seized as part of the investigation.
Stoller was charged with:
- 2 counts of 1st Degree Theft (Class C Felony)
- 1st Degree Fraudulent Practice (Class C Felony)
- 1st Degree Criminal Mischief (Class C Felony)
- 2nd Degree Criminal Mischief (Class D Felony)
- Possession of Prescription Medication (Serious Misdemeanor)
- Possession of Drug Paraphernalia (Simple Misdemeanor)
Jakob Gamboa (26) of Sheldon, IA also was arrested and charged with:
- Possession of Prescription Medication (Serious Misdemeanor)
- Possession of Drug Paraphernalia (Simple Misdemeanor)
Stoller was able to post bond, which was set at $21,300. Gamboa was released on his own recognizance.
All persons are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

Pick-up Address
Our coach will pick-up and drop-off passengers from:
Funicular Ticket Office Via della Pesa, 27, 05018 Orvieto Scalo TR, Italy
Next Departures
|Trip runs between 07 May - 14 Oct, 2018 in every 2 days.
Must See & Do
The City
Perched atop a dramatic clifftop of ancient volcanic rock, with the Umbrian countryside sprawling in all directions below, Orvieto is everything an Italian hill town should be; quiet and peaceful, with shady, jasmine-scented cafés and squares just waiting for you to take a seat and soak up the atmosphere. Or if it's too hot out, you could make like a rabbit and explore the underground warren of medieval tunnels carved into the volcanic hillside. The zebra striped cathedral is an absolute must too.
Pigeon and dove are both traditionally widely used in Orvieto cooking, and palomba alla leccarda is a pigeon casserole with wine and olives that's very typical of the town's culinary traditions. Alternatively try some umbricelli pasta, made using only flour and water, which was invented here.
Crocifisso del Tufo Etruscan Necropolis (Etruscan Tombs)
One of only two Etruscan necropolises in Umbria, it dates back to the mid-6th century B.C. and is an enlightening example of the engineering superiority of this ancient but highly advanced civilization.
Must Sees
- Duomo This 14th century Roman Catholic cathedral is one of the most spectacular in Italy. Its Capello di Madonna di San Brizio contains Luca Signorelli's Last Judgment, considered by many to be his masterpiece.
- Orvieto Caves Underground cave network beneath the city which the locals have used for various purposes like air raid shelters during WWII.
- St Patrick's Well Dating back to 1537, the largest of the town's subterranean wells measures 62-meters-deep and has two spiral staircases, one for descending and one for ascending, that provided residents essential access to the water source at its base.
- Torre del Moro The 13th century clock tower chimes on the hour, half and quarter hours, so you'll never need a wristwatch. Climb the 270 stairs to the top for a bird's eye view of Orvieto's terracotta rooftops and surrounding countryside
- La Rocca/Fortress of Albornoz A former 14th century fortress that today serves as the town's public gardens.

New Shaper
Lillin, the Old Guard
- Passive: Pure Shaper - Chastise
- Lillin may cast her abilities freely. Lillin's abilities deal bonus magical damage to enemy Shapers based on the target's bonus Health.
- Q - Fool's Fire
- Lillin summons shades that seek out and damage target enemy. Creates more shades per enemy Shaper hit with Consecrate.
- W - Rebuke
- Passive: Lillin gains percent bonus defense penetration.
- Active: Lillin releases a massive wave in target direction, damaging enemies. Closer enemies take more damage and are knocked back.
- E - Consecrate
- Lillin creates a massive plume of fire in target direction, damaging minions passed through. Detonates when hitting a Shaper or at max range, damaging and marking enemies for Fool's Fire.
- R - Invocation
- Lillin summons the spirit of Divinity to destroy target enemy Shaper. For a short time, the target has a large percent of their Magic Resistance shredded before the spirit fires a projectile at them, dealing massive damage. This projectile can be blocked by other enemy Shapers.
Lillin is a ranged, magical damage Burst Mage who specializes in bringing down even the toughest targets. Lillin's early game is most easily spent as a Tactician by using her powerful burst to harass and zone enemy Shapers. While Lillin can make a potent Gladiator as well, it can be more difficult to take advantage of her superior burst. What Lillin lacks in mobility, she makes up for in raw power and synergy with other Mages - consider laning or teaming Lillin with another burst Mage for potentially devastating combos. Lillin is more vulnerable than your average Mage in Dawngate, lacking both mobility and long-range crowd control - be careful with your positioning and use your knockback effectively to stay alive.
The Dawngate map is now SpoOooOooOoOky.

Lillin is a ranged, magical damage Burst Mage who specializes in bringing down even the toughest targets. Lillin's early game is most easily spent as a Tactician: her powerful burst easily used harassing and zoning enemy Shapers. While Lillin can make a potent Gladiator as well, it can be more difficult to take advantage of her superior burst. What Lillin lacks in mobility, she makes up for in raw power and synergy with other Mages - consider laning or teaming Lillin with another burst Mage for potentially devastating combos. Lillin is more vulnerable than your average Mage in Dawngate, lacking both mobility and long-range crowd control - be careful with your positioning and use your knockback effectively to stay alive.
|10 / 9 / 8 / 7 / 6
Active: Lillin conjures a wave of cleansing energy in target direction, dealing between 65 / 110 / 155 / 200 / 245 (+0.6) to 30 / 70 / 110 / 140 / 160 (+0.3) magical damage. The damage dealt is decreased against targets that are further away from the cast point. Units hit that are close enough to Lillin are knocked back.
|13 / 11.5 / 10 / 8.5 / 7
|12 / 11 / 10 / 9 / 8
|140 / 120 / 100
Skill Order
Much like Sakari and Amarynth, Lillin's damage is unlocked by comboing abilities together. The skill that benefits from this combo should be your primarily leveled skill. Amarynth maxes her Feeding Frenzy (Q), Sakari maxes her Shatter (E), and Lillin maxes her Fool's Fire (Q).
Fool's Fire (Q) has the lowest cooldown and is reliable, it is simply a left click ability. Hitting Hallowed targets will deal extra damage, so landing your E/Q combo will result in lots of pain for the enemy. The passive component of Rebuke (W) does not pay off until higher levels of magic resistance, so you can likely safely max your Consecrate (E) second unless the enemy is investing early in magic resistance. As always, take your ultimate whenever possible at levels 6, 11 and 16.
Recommended Builds
Like most Mages, Lillin will be most comfortably played in the Tactician role. Her long range left click and skill shot abilities make for great harassing tools, but can also be used for farming creeps as a Gladiator if paired with other excellent tacticians like Sakari or Amarynth.
Starting Items
Core Items:
Destruction / Divinity
As a burst mage, it is paramount to stay even or ahead in terms of damage. Of the non-Command items, Destruction and Divinity add the most power and have incredibly useful flat penetration and bonus spell damage. We want these raw stats to multiply with other massive power items later in our build.
Judgement / Pestilence / Decay / Justice
As an immobile burst mage, health is a nice stat to keep you from falling over. While control-mages like King of Masks and Sakari tend to favor items like Prosperity which are only defensive in nature, a burst mage will want to pick up items that share both Health and Power. Judgement, Pestilence, Decay and Justice are all great pickups that will increase your damage and your survivability. Pick the one that will be best used in your match.
Wisdom / Supremacy

Hello, good people of the Dawngate community! It's been a while since my last Chronicles Analysis, so I figured I'd give a formal notice of what's happening along with a new analysis with a slightly different format.
I set out to write analyses of the Chronicles because I saw a lot of questions being asked about what it all meant, and who characters were. At the start of the Chronicles, it was difficult for lore-illiterate folks to know what was happening. At first I attacked comment sections with individual replies, answering as many questions as I could, but after I realized that it was happening so frequently, I conspired with MOBA-Champion to start writing a series of analyses to help everyone understand what was going on.
So why did I stop writing them? Well I realized that I had ceased explaining the world to people, and was pretty much just predicting what was going to happen based on what we knew. I don't have a problem with predicting what will happen in the lore, but it was getting away from what I had set out to accomplish with the Chronicles. In short: my goal was done. By the thirtieth Chronicle or so, it seemed that people no longer needed my explanation. I'm not done with Dawngate, but this chapter is coming to a close, and it's time to move on to other projects. In the mean time, I hope that my analysis of Divinity is enlightening.
Key Points
- There are many clues that identify the narrator's home as Taraysk. She mentions the vessels that the babies are shaped in (testtubes if you will), and talks about the tribes that scatter east and west around them.
- The narrator and her mate are both centaur-like (human torso on a quadruped body). She mentions him galloping, and during her escape from Taraysk, there are galloping sounds in the background. This would indicate that they both have four hooves.
- The people of Taraysk do not believe in the standard form of reproduction, as it leads to imperfection. So when the narrator's pregnancy is found out, they seek to "purify" the sin. In this case, purification comes by fire. More specifically, burning them to death.
- The narrator mentions that her mate calls forth the lost arts when he fights their would-be executioners. What exactly these lost arts is an interesting possibility. We know that Taraysk is home to blood-shaping, but perhaps there were more forms of shaping known to them back in her glory days. What we can assume from the fight is that the narrator's mate was extremely resilient ("they cut him a thousand times") either by invoking these "lost arts" or by the way he was blood-shaped.
- Divinity means "godlike." What this means for our upcoming shaper is inconclusive, but it could mean a lot for the future of Taraysk. Unless of course it's referring to the dessert known as divinity. I'd be ok with that too.
- It's currently unknown whether the mother is the Shaper or if her Son is the shaper. I picked out a couple of points for each that could point to either being the Shaper:
Arguments for the Mother Being the Shaper:
- The line "The spirit's breath is at my back" suggests that she already has a connection to a spirit before giving birth.
- All previous audio logs except for Vex's are exclusively from the perspective of the shaper portrayed. While not conclusive given Vex's counter-example, the odds are in favor of the mother being the Shaper from this argument.
Arguments for the Son Being the Shaper:
- The Mother is obviously not as "perfect" as Viyana (since Viyana is the "most perfect"), so this story definitely takes place a while before the Dawngate opens. Given this timeframe, the son would probably be old enough to fight by the time he enters the present story.
- At the end of the log, the Mother reveals the name of her son to be Eshmar (or something like that). This wouldn't mean much except that revealing the shaper's name at the end of lore pieces is a common occurrence in Dawngate's lore.
Thanks for reading! If you have questions or comments, please leave them below or email me at firstname.lastname@example.com.
One of the most exciting elements of the MOBA genre is playing, and watching them be played, as a competitive sport. Regardless of if it is a tournament with prize money on the line, or simply an in-house game amongst friends, Dawngate is an extremely exciting game when played at a high level. One of the defining characteristics of playing competitively, regardless of the environment, is that players draft which Shaper they play as opposed to simultaneously picking them in a blind pick format. Naturally, the creation of an official draft mode was the first thing on our priority list as we entered into competitive beta and began to focus our design and developmental efforts on the features and tools necessary to support both the tournament scene as well as ranked play.
One of the primary differences between draft versus blind pick is the inclusion of bans. With bans, players can choose Shapers that are unavailable for either team to pick during the selection phase. We knew that we wanted banning in the game for several reasons.
One is that it serves as a safety net against balance outliers. As a live service that is constantly adding content, there's always the chance that a particular Shaper is too strong in the given metagame, and having the option to ban that Shaper out of the draft helps protect the integrity of the match.
The other key element that banning provides is strategic diversity. By preventing certain Shapers from being played, players can ban out entire strategies or team compositions which can force teams and players to require a deep Shaper roster with several different strategies at the ready. As a spectator sport, it's always more interesting to see new and different strategies being used, so we wanted to make sure our draft mode provided the tools necessary to prevent a single dominant strategy or team composition from being used in every match.
With these two high level goals in mind, the big questions were where to place the bans relative to the picks and how many bans to provide total. To action against our first goal of being able to ban out potentially over-tuned Shapers, there had to be at least a portion of the bans done immediately, before any Shapers were picked. That left the question of what was better for our second goal: placing the rest of the bans up front as well, or spacing them out between picks? Knowing that creating a larger amount of viable ban targets is what was going to create the most diverse compositions from game to game, we opted to place a set of bans after four initial picks. By allowing players to see the beginning of their enemy's team composition, it provides them additional information to base their bans on, such as banning out a Shaper that has excellent synergy with one their enemies had already selected. Similarly, by exposing several of their own picks to their enemy, they can also opt to ban out Shapers that are strong counters to the strategy that they have started to reveal.
With the format of having a set of bans initially, and a set of bans after several picks, it very quickly lead to the decision to have four bans total. By requiring that both teams received the same number of bans, that there was a set of bans initially as well as after several picks, and by wanting the lowest number of bans that fulfilled the first two requirements due to the current number of Shapers in the game, it naturally lead to having four bans.
With our banning strategy relatively well understood, the next phase of draft's development was determining the specific order in which the picks and bans would alternate between the two teams. The first two bans were straightforward, one for the Mortal team and one for the Spirit team. We opted to not give whichever team had the last ban the first pick, as that creates an environment where you can ban a hard counter to a particular Shaper, and then pick that Shaper before the opposing team has had a chance to react. This meant that Mortal team would also get first pick. To counterbalance the power that comes with having first pick, we gave Spirit team two simultaneous picks after the Mortal team's singular first pick. This was followed by the Mortal team getting their second pick to tie everything up.
With the above partial format providing a fair set of advantages and disadvantages to the two teams, we continued the draft format by applying the same process but in reverse team order. This meant that after the Mortal team's second pick, Spirit team would begin a ban phase again, continuing all the way through another set of four picks, but with the Mortal team having the simultaneous double pick. By mirroring the same set of picks, it theoretically equalizes any advantage one team had by going first or second in the initial phase.
This just left the last two remaining picks. The two options were to allow Spirit team to do another set of simultaneous picks after Mortal team's, followed by a Mortal team pick to end the draft, or to do singular picks alternating between teams, resulting in the Spirit team having the final pick to end the draft. In this position, the very last pick has the greatest advantage, since you have the most information available before you select your Shaper as well as the advantage of being unable to have your selection by countered by the enemy team. Since Mortal team has a slight map advantage in terms of vision due to the camera angle of the game, we opted to give Spirit Team the slight pick advantage with last pick. This finalized the draft format with two singular alternating picks.
So there you have it! This is the format we've been testing internally, and In order to continue to test draft mode for both tournaments as well as our upcoming Ranked mode, we'll be releasing it in an upcoming patch as an optional way to play Dawngate in custom games. Additionally, we'll be using this draft format in the first Race to the Gate tournament beginning on October 17th, so make sure you tune in to watch the best of the best battle it out for the right to compete in the Grand Invitational!
Every night it is the same.
He gallops across my dreams, sunlight gleaming off his armor. Feather-grass sways in his wake. I pursue him, he entices me. We stand among the tombs of elders from time so deep, their names are lost to rain and wind.
We re-learn what comes unpracticed to others. To the tribes that pass east and west around our ruins of stone and memory. To the beasts that wander north and south in yearly cycles. To the birds returning each spring, adding small voices to echo through the stillness.
He trembles when I touch him, eyes as wide as the steppe. His heart so quick and strong, I can hear it in the dark.
All our lives, they told us the vessels were the only way. The jars of light where essences are mixed. Arcs and helices that lurk beneath mortal vision, but not beyond Shaping.
When I began to show, they lecture us about our sin.
They say we must be purified. He holds my hand as the kindling is piled. He's shaking again. I tell him to be strong.
He is strong. He throws me through the flames. He charges them, calling forth the lost arts, using their own firebrands.
They cut him a thousand times. He does not let them past.
I run into the sunset, skin blistering and peeling, my hair a stinking torch. I do not stop. They cannot catch me. The Spirits' breath is at my back.
Every night it is the same. I startle awake, the memory of burning flesh in my nostrils, the sting of his final smile in my eyes.
But I hear our love made manifest, and I know it will be well.
Someday I'll tell Eshmar about his father.

A newer cultivated variety of dracaena is the limelight, a Dracaena with light-green leaves that seem to glow in low-light environments. The dracaena limelight is an engineered variety of the naturally growing branch of Dracaena deremensis Warneckii. Dracaenas are notoriously easy to grow houseplants, offering showy foliage and an ability to rid indoor air of certain toxic compounds. With exotic leaves and a tolerance for low-light conditions, the dracaena limelight is slow-growing and enjoys normal indoor temperatures.
Position your dracaena limelight in bright, indirect light, but not in direct sunlight. Maintain average air temperatures around the dracaena of about 60 to 70 degrees Fahrenheit, and don't expose the plant to temperatures below 55 degrees. Keep the dracaena away from drafts or heating and cooling vents to avoid temperature extremes.
Water your dracaena limelight with fluoride-free water, drenching the potting soil until the water drains freely from the bottom of the container. Water your dracaena only when the soil begins to feel dry to the touch and empty the water from the drainage dish about 30 minutes after watering the plant.
Feed your dracaena limelight with an all-purpose liquid houseplant fertilizer once per month during the spring and summer. Follow the dosage recommendation on the package and don't feed the dracaena during the fall or winter months.
Keep humidity levels elevated around your Dracaena Warneckii Limelight, especially during the drier winter months. Set the Dracaena's pot on top of a drainage dish that's filled with pebbles and water, ensuring that the container is sitting on the pebbles and not in the water.
Wipe the dracaena's leaves once each week with a damp cloth to remove any accumulated dust. Wet the cloth with fluoride-free water to avoid staining the leaves and don't allow the leaves to remain wet for more than 10 hours.

miR-145: An Important new Target for the Treatment of Diabetic Stroke?
Primary tabs
Review of "miR-145 Regulates Diabetes-Bone Marrow Stromal Cell-Induced Neurorestorative Effects in Diabetes Stroke Rats" from Stem Cells Translational Medicine by Stuart P. Atkinson
Ischemic stroke is of grave concern to type 1 diabetes (T1D) patients, as many diabetes symptoms contribute to poor stroke outcome [1, 2]. In non-diabetic stroke models, intravenous administration of healthy bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) represents a promising treatment modality [3]. This supports the use of patient-derived MSCs to treat stroke; however the application of MSCs derived from healthy patients actually worsened symptoms in a diabetic stroke model in a more recent study [4].
Now, researchers from the laboratory of Jieli Chen and Guiyun Cui have assessed whether MSCs derived from T1D rats (T1D-MSCs) could play a neurorestorative role in a diabetic stroke model, concentrating their study on their neuroprotective effect of miRNA145 (miR-145) inhibition [5]. Has this study uncovered an important new target for the treatment of diabetic stroke [6]?
In vitro analyses of T1D-MSCs in comparison to healthy MSCs demonstrated increased survival and proliferation coupled with decreased miR-145 expression. Additionally, T1D-MSC conditioned medium treatment of cultured primary cortical neurons increased capillary tube formation and axonal outgrowth. Encouraging findings!
Moving in vivo, systemic T1D-MSC treatment following induced stroke in T1DM rats mediated a significant improvement in neurological functional outcomes, increased vascular and white matter remodeling, and decreased blood-brain-barrier leakage. These improvements correlated with decreased miR-145 expression and increased expression of target genes (ABCA1 and IGFR1) which may be important for stroke treatment (Figure shows elevated expression following T1D MSC treatment [+DM-BMSCs] compared to control PBS treated mice [T1DM]).
The promise of an important new target for the treatment of diabetic stroke; exciting research! While healthy MSCs do more harm than good in diabetic stroke models, this study indicates that T1D-MSCs can promote neurorestorative effects via the downregulation of miR-145 expression. The authors note the probable involvement of other miRNAs and they hope to explore this likelihood in the near future.
More surprises ahead; keep tuned to the Stem Cells Portal to hear all about their new and exciting findings!

The DC Cinematic Universe. A problem facing studios these days is the pursuit of the ever elusive franchise. That one thing which will allow them to turn a profit time after time after time. With the Suicide Squad, Warner Brothers seem to be onto another sure fire hit. But at what cost? Just like Batman V Superman, Suicide Squad presents a very stylish package, with very little substance.
Amanda Waller (Viola Davis) following the aftermath of the death of Superman from Batman V Superman assembles a group of dangerous criminals that include Dead Shot (Will Smith) and Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie). The group must rescue a high value target from a member gone rogue – Enchantress (Clara Delevigne) – otherwise face the possibility of death via implanted bombs in their necks.
With help from Captain Boomerang (Jai Courtney) and Diablo (Jay Hernandez), Colonel Rick Flagg (Joel Kinnamon) must keep his team in line otherwise they truly will be The Suicide Squad.
One must commend Warner Brothers. Trying to setup a super hero cinematic universe is no easy feat. Trying to setup one with Marvels juggernaut dominating is even harder. Suicide Squad is an admirable attempt at adding to the broader DC world but ultimately one that doesn't quite hit the mark.
Suicide Squad does start off promisingly. The introduction of each member of the titular Squad is very well handled. David Ayers – known for his gritty realism and story telling (Just think Fury and the very underrated Sabotage) deftly mixes witty dialogue and restrained understatement with bouts of epileptic narration. Think a Mozart concert crossed with a Black Sabbath performance and you have a taste of what to expect.
Unfortunately, this is about as good as it gets. From there on Suicide Squad fails to capitalize on this excellent start. For some reason both this movie and B v S the theatrical cut have some questionable edits. It's almost as if a blind man suffering from the delirium tremors went to town with a pair of scissors on the original material and then glued the pieces together like some schizophrenic paper mache creation. This leaves the movie very disjointed and difficult to follow.
The only two saving graces are Will Smith and Margot Robbie. Both turn in very fine performances in an otherwise inconsistent movie. Margot Robbie especially gives her character such gravitas that it is no wonder that she will be getting her own Harley Quinn spin off in the not too distant future. Will Smith also does well with the material he is given including some very welcome comedic moments hearkening back to his Fresh Prince days.
All in all the Suicide Squad is a letdown as a movie. The promising start gave way to a film that did not know what it wanted to be. If they had maintained the fantastic tone and narrative of the first 15-20 minutes then Suicide Squad would have been a much more enjoyable and compelling view.
I give this movie a 2/5 chillies. Not spicy at all.

I had hypnotherapy to quit smoking - it was the best thing I could have done! I think it helped that I had come to a point in my life where I knew I was ready to stop, and I used hypnotherapy as that final push to quit completely. I now use the anchors my hypnotherapist taught me if I ever get that desire to smoke! I'd say give it a go if your trying to quit - i have friends it didn't work for but it did for me so everyone is different.
